Improvement in cake-pans



UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

AUGUSTUS F. TRIPP, or BUFFALO, new YORK.

IMPROVEMENT IN CAKE-PANS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 156,509, dated November 3, 187.4; application filed April 3, 1874.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, AUGUSTUS F. TRIPP, of the'city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Cake-Pans, of which the following is a specification:

My invention relates to cake-pans; and it consists in an improved method of securing a cluster or series of cake cups or pans in a frame.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a section, showing one of the cups inserted in place in the frame preparatory to being secured; and Fig.3, a similar View, after the cup has been fastened in position.

Like letters of reference designate like parts in each of the figures.

A is the frameof sheet metal, with holes stamped or out out to receive the cups B. These cups are first formed with an outwardly-projecting bead, 1), near the upper edge, when the cups are inserted-in the hole in the frame, as represented in Fig. 2. The upper edge I) of the cup is then turned outward, so

secured in place, as shown in Fig. 3. The

bead b-must be tightly compressed together, so as not to leave any recess on the inside between the sides of the flange W, in which the material being baked can enter, as the material entering such recess would form a looking flange, which would prevent the removal of the cake until this flange was broken off, which would break the surface and impair the appearance of the cake.

I do not claim, broadly, a cluster of cakepans, but

What I claim as my invention is- A cluster of cake-pans, secured in a frame of sheet metal, by means of the tightly-compressed bead or flange b and overlapping edge I), as herein shown and described.
